The end of the road in Marvel Loch came on Monday 10th October 2016 and if I was to say the last eight weeks had been uneventful then I’d be lying. At times it may have felt like I’d been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world, lacking in information and sensory overload, carrying out … More And Just Like That, It Was Over
It’s the beginning of week seven here in Marvel Loch and although I’m excited slash nervous slash a tad apprehensive about heading to Melbourne in a few weeks, believe it or not I’ll also be quite sad to leave this little place I’ve come to call home. The next two weeks are sure to pass … More Day 42 In Marvel Loch: And Now The End Is Near
This week has been pleasantly surprising. Not only in terms of taking new adventures and trying new things but in terms of my drinking habits – I’ve only actually been drunk once in the last seven days. Which is progress. That’s not to say I’ve only drank alcohol on one occasion, hell no, what I … More Day 32 in Marvel Loch
My lack of regular updates recently perhaps reflects the lack of activity I’ve experienced in Marvel Loch over the last five days. Not much has happened. At all. Monday night was thoroughly interesting and enjoyable as the weekly shift change brought a busy night to the pub with lots of laughter, some debaucherous behaviour and … More Day 23 And It’s All Quiet On The Western Front
Friday came and went…blah blah…a tedious morning followed by a pretty boring afternoon…although I did manage to get slightly sunburnt on my face so every cloud and all that. But Saturday…well…Saturday was just spectacular. Having never fired a gun, rode a dirt bike through crop fields and over a motorcross track, having never driven a … More It’s Day Nineteen and I Lost Four Virginities!
By golly, it’s Day 17 already and I’m sorry to say I don’t have a lot to tell you. Well, that’s not strictly true, I have loads I “could” tell you, but I think divulging my extra-curricular activities could maybe prove a little too saucy for this blog, and for fear of alienating a younger … More Day Seventeen in Marvel Loch
It’s been a tad drab here lately. The weather hasn’t been living up to my Western Australian standards, in fact it’s been slightly bi-polar which is frustrating (constant rain, wind and bitter cold, speckled with short bursts of sunshine) and I’ve been feeling particularly lethargic and lacking in energy. Instead of wanting to get outdoors … More Day Fifteen In Marvel Loch
The play areas in Marvel Loch strike a lonely chord; I’ve not seen one child frolicking on the climbing frames, not one hoop shot on the run down basketball court, and not one youngster swinging innocently and joyfully on the tyre swing. Granted, the current climate has probably had a lot to do with the … More Weekend number two in Marvel Loch – where are all the children? The play areas are empty and the roads desolate…
Not much happened yesterday (day ten). Well, I say not much, but apart from very nearly shitting my pants when a kangaroo jumped out at me while I was out running, that’s about it. Oh, and I got drunk. Quite drunk. Not just on Gin either; as my preferred drink of choice slipped down my … More Day Eleven in Sleepy Marvel Loch
On Tuesday night we had a fire. Don’t worry though, it wasn’t an actual “my house is burning down, save the kids and that photo of Aunty Beryl” kind of fire; exciting things like that don’t happen in Marvel Loch. No, this was a pit fire. A pit fire in the bush…with alcohol! Trine and … More Days all blend together in good old Marvel Loch
